Communicating the Incomprehensible

Edenvale Young Associates are trialling a number of informative training webinars to explain the complexities of our craft. The series will start on the 12th February 2025 at 12:00 GMT.

John Young, one of our founding Directors, will be talking about Flood Risk Assessments (FRA’s). The webinar will use examples from his experiences of the work undertaken in Bristol, but the content will be applicable to sites throughout England.

Please note, in Wales the equivalent to an FRA is a Flood Consequence Assessment (FCA). These must conform to different legislation but they are similar enough for this webinar to be useful to those undertaking projects in Wales.

These updated assessments provide a clearer understanding of flood risk around the country and the data will be used by the government, Environment Agency and local communities to plan for and improve flood resilience in areas at risk.
